How about making your own simple application that reads the line one by one
and executing them?
I think IB Console updates other Windows when you are executing the SQL so I
am not sure that it is the ultimate way. If you do your own app you can get
progress and see what is really happening. You should probably turn off
sweeping (standard at every 20 000 record I think. You should convert
20020101 to 2002-01-01 so that it handle the date automatically. Maby an
index on OneID as well.

Good luck!
